Winter finally let go on Saturday, March 28 and I was able
to slip new protein patties into the hives.
This year, the patties are softer since they were drying out
too quickly last year. I’ve also added a few drops of lemongrass oil and
spearmint oil to make them more palatable. Each hive got one of the old batch
and one of the new batch, so we shall see how that turns out.
I did not get much of a peek inside since it was in the 40s.
However, the maples are blooming and as usual, the temps are taking us for a
wild ride. Tomorrow, the weatherman is promising us almost 70F. Hopefully, I
will be able to take a quick peek in and assess the situation.
How are your bees doing?
